28  * Kernel protection serializers: general purpose synchronization mechanism.
29  *
30  * Serializers provide a simple way to serialize access to some resource. They
31  * can be used as an alternative to locks or STREAMS perimeters. They scale
32  * much better than STREAMS outer serializers.
33  *
34  * Serializer is an abstraction that guarantees that all functions executed
35  * within the serializer are serialized: they are executed in the order they
36  * entered serializer one at a time.
37  *
38  * INTERFACES:
39  *
40  * serializer_t *serializer_create(flags);
41  *
42  *	Create a serializer. The flags may be either SER_SLEEP or SER_NOSLEEP
43  *	which are the same as KM_SLEEP and KM_NOSLEEP respectively.
44  *
45  * serializer_enter(serializer, proc, mblk, arg);
46  *
47  *	Execute 'proc(mblk, arg)' within the serializer.
48  *
49  * serializer_wait(serializer);
50  *
51  *	Wait for pending serializer jobs to complete. This function should never
52  *	be called within the serializer or it will deadlock.
53  *
54  * serializer_destroy(serializer);
55  *
56  *	Destroy serializer.
57  *
58  * Serializers export three DTrace SDT probes:
59  *
60  *	serializer-enqueue(serializer, mblk, arg, proc)
61  *
62  *		The probe triggers when serializer is busy and the request is
63  *		queued.
64  *
65  *	serializer-exec-start(serializer, mblk, arg, proc)
66  *
67  *		The probe triggers before the request is executed
68  *
69  *	serializer-exec-end(serializer, mblk, arg, proc)
70  *
71  *		The probe triggers after the request is executed
72  *
73  *
74  * IMPLEMENTATION.
75  *
76  * Serializer consists of a "owner" and a list of queued jobs. The first thread
77  * entering serializer sets the owner and executes its job directly without
78  * context switch. Then it processes jobs which may have been enqueued while it
79  * was executing a job and drops the owner, leaving the serializer empty.  Any
80  * thread entering an owned serializer enqueues its job and returns immediately.
81  *
82  * Serializer data structure holds several fields used for debugging only. They
83  * are not relevant for the proper serializer functioning.
84  *
85  * When new requests arrive faster then they are processed it is possible that a
86  * thread that started processing serializer will continue doing so for a long
87  * time. To avoid such pathological behavior the amount of requests drained by
88  * serializer_enter() is limited by `serializer_credit' value. After the credit
89  * is expired serializer_enter() schedules a taskq request to continue draining.
90  * The taskq thread draining is not limited by serializer_credit. Note that it
91  * is possible that another serializer_enter() will drain the serializer before
92  * a taskq thread will get to it.
